Hi Jeff,

Both of errors indicate your user layer or kernel driver is using a
wrong IOCTL command,
maybe your RTC_RD_TIME of user layer doesnot match the ÂRTC_RD_TIME of
kernel layer.
so driver return a '--ENOTTY' error no.

The better thing is you can write a rtc test application to identify
your driver works well.

Maybe you can change other version hwclock for testing.
